at no point in the svt teaser did i understand what was happening

okay i've been locked in studying but here's a crazy dream i had:

lolz it's okay, i don't mind the question <3

the reason i didn't immediately jump into writing the epilogue was bc i simply wanted a break from the series. i had spent so much time proofreading, refining, and rewriting certain scenes that i wasn't in the headspace to push myself further. i never force myself to write bc this is a hobby i deeply enjoy, and by stripping away my choice to do it, i'm removing part of the leisure and fun!

also, taking time away from the series lets me work up ideas. i have more time to think abt what i would like to write. even though i am prioritizing my other fic at the moment, it doesn't mean i never think abt HER and what the epilogue should entail.

and i wouldn't worry abt me losing interest or passion in writing the epilogue. the reason i personally lose passion in a story is bc i failed to plan it well enough, so i get in too deep, it's just too messy, and i can't put a bow on it. but HER is a finished and fully realized work where i know and am comfortable with my characters. it makes returning to the epilogue easier.

thank you so much i am happy you enjoyed it <3

well the good thing abt the epilogue is that it won't be as long as the og story 🤣 so it won't take me two freakin years to write it!

stay up queen 😔 he's gonna b fresh on the squad wearing ts

right? like do not play with my expectations! :(

i also kind of notice that trend with smut, too. i'm not a huge smut reader bc i neeeeed it to be sandwiched by plot or else it doesn't rly hit for me. but sometimes i get curious and i'm like what the hey, let me see what's out there. and then the desc says for instance "breast play" and the "play" is for like 2-3 sentences 😭 DO NOT LIE TO ME!!

like i will not list something as a genre or trope unless it's prominent in the story. and YES i can do the same, too. sometimes i put in a detail thinking it will come back later for a significant purpose but then i get sidetracked. that's natural and you can play around it when you're editing. so i totally understand.

for me personally..... i just don't like being misled.... don't tell me i'm getting mashed potatoes and then it's turnips.... don't tell me i'm getting lemonade and then it's just lemons in water.... don't tell me i'm getting a piece of cake and there is nothing but a crumb on the plate...

can i say smth...

uhh wow that's an interesting question, i haven't actually thought about it much 😭 i think it depends on how relevant the side character is to the story. if they are quite central to the plot i typically think about their name more as opposed to if they are just passing by in a scene or two.

adrian's persona was actually based off a guy i knew in high school who was a big skater. he wore parachute pants with a shoelace belt and like beat up vans and every time i saw him he had his skateboard. but he was very easygoing, class clown kinda vibes.

i gave princess her name bc it sounds luxurious, opulent, perhaps you would imagine that person to act prissy. i think princess suits the clique that her is friends with - rich girls from rich families whose parents are all in connect - but she's not prissy at all! so i liked the contrast of giving her a fancy name without the spoiled personality.

and then for instance bells is another friend of that group. i think bells is a rly soft, pretty-sounding name. but it also relates to the fact that bells is always butting into conversations, she's a bit squealy, loud, chiming in unnecessarily. so i liked that name for her character.

OMG you're right - i just fixed it!

wiurfweoiufg oKAY I SHOULD SPECIFY - I DID NOT WRITE THE FICS, I READ THEM 😭 but i can still share the links!

komorebi by saltedpotato (naruto x sasuke fic)

something good by kinomiakai (naruto x sasuke fic)

flightless bird by audreyyheart (larry stylinson)

okay OMG AND CAN I JUST SAY... flightless bird is genuinely one of the best fanfics i have ever read in my gee dee life. it is like truly phenomenal, i was obsessed with reading it last summer. i was crushing multiple chapters a day 😭 it's BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, OKAY? like it's about ballet, so it's very ballet terminology heavy, but goddd it was beautiful to read, i cannot express it enough!!

it definitely has serious subjects so if you read it, take heed of the author's warnings! honestly, i could sit here all day singing praises about flightless bird but the best thing you can do is read it 🤣
